'"1762 leto'" (Bulgarian: 1762 лето [xilˈjɑdɑ i sɛdɛmˈstɔtin ˈʃɛstdɛsɛt i vtɔro lɛto] or Bulgarian: Песен за унищожението на Охридската патриаршия, Macedonian: 1762 лето [ilˈjɑdɑ i sɛdɛmˈstɔtin ˈʃɛɛsɛt i ftɔro lɛto] or Macedonian: Песна за патрикот, English: The year of 1762) is a song written by Grigor Parlichev, a Bulgarian writer from Macedonia.

The song was originally published in the Bulgarian periodical science magazine "Collection of folklore, science and literature" in Sofia, Bulgaria (1894).[4]

The song describes the abolition of the Archbishopric of Ohrid, which took place in 1767, and the departure of its last archbishop Arsenius II from Ohrid. It was very popular in Macedonia, and especially in Ohrid, in the last decades of the nineteenth century.[5][6][7] It was first performed in Ohrid shortly after Parlichev's wedding c. 1870. According to Parlichev[1] and other contemporaries,[8] the song contributed more to the final victory of the Bulgarian movement in Macedonia against the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople than many of the previous efforts of the Bulgarians.

In 1953 the song is translated and published for the first time in Macedonian language by Todor Dimitrovski in "Avtobiografija; Serdarot, Skopje, 1953, Kočo Racin", to mark the 60th anniversary of his death.[9]

Numerous versions of the song have been recorded by Bulgarian and Macedonian performers over the years. Popular performances include those by the Macedonian folk band Ansambl Biljana in 1974 and the alternative band Mizar in 1991.
